This story was so amazing. You captured the broken Draco character and the struggling new Wizarding society perfectly! I LOVE how you have both Astoria and Draco having issues with Ron...that sets up a very nice Romeo/Juliet thing for their children, haha! But I also really enjoy how Ron, true to JKs version of him, remained stubborn and prejudice, with Draco being the one to change his ways, at least somewhat. I wouldn't want my child ending up like Lucius either!

Hands down this is one of my favorite stories that I've read on this site, and it's been...8 years since I found HPFF? Fantastic job!

Author's Response: Hello, again!

I really appreciate all of the kind words. This was the second novel that I wrote on HPFF and it was really challenging at times. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed it!

Shameless plug: If you like Draco and Astoria as they're portrayed here, you might also enjoy my other novel, Conspiracy of Blood. It's set many years after Detox, but I think Astoria and Draco are portrayed very similarly. You won't see them until chapter 6, though.

Hi! Wow, ummm I am pretty much in love with this story. I never, and I do mean never, read stories that take place after the war. I also hate stories about Draco in the war, because I love his character so much, but I decided to take a chance on this and I'm so glad I did.

Your portrayal of him, and all characters honestly, is very realistic. I'm also grateful this isn't a Dramione fic too, I'm sorry but I loathe that ship! I'm also very intrigued by your version of Astoria Greengrass; I never thought of her as this sweet, naive young girl who really just wants to believe the best of people, but it really suits her, now that I think of it. She's exactly the kind of person Draco needs in his life.

Okay, I'm going to continue reading your lovely story now!

Author's Response: Hi, there!

Thanks so much for all of the kind words. I tried really, really hard to stick to Draco's characterization from the books throughout this story. I'm sure I strayed here and there, but it's nice to hear that the portrayal worked well for you.

I don't think I could ever write a Dramione story. I have yet to find an underlying rationale for that pairing that doesn't sound absurd to me. As far as Astoria, I think of her as being the sort of person that Draco desperately needed to untangle his head after everything he survived during the war. None of the Slytherin girls in his own year were ever portrayed as the sort of person who could fill that role in his life.

Wow, this was so refreshingly brilliant. I stumbled across this tonight and I am so glad. I love Charlie Weasley dearly, and there's hardly anything written about him, and this is such a unique way to do it. I love the aspect of four nephews getting involved with his love life, I can already tell this is going to be hilarious. I can also tell that you're a very intelligent person by the way that you write, and you had some really witty lines in here as well.

Okay sorry, freak out over. Hugo?? Really? The part where Rose said everyone was with their sibling except her...my heart! I love this story. I actually just discovered it recently, over my winter break, and binge read the entire thing. This was the first chapter that I had to wait for and I wasn't ready!!!

Seriously though, amazing job and I can't wait for the sequels. It's hard finding stories on here that aren't just fluffy romances. I love action stories, so this one holds my attention completely!

Wow. Thank you so much for updating!!! I've been hooked on this story for a long time now and I'm always so thrilled to see a new chapter when I check my list of favorited stories. It's so fascinating to me because the timeline is very unique. I honestly had never really thought about what happened to people outside of the Potters after Voldemort fell the first time, and I've never thought so in-depth about Frank and Alice.

The back story you give both to OCs like Elena and Simon and canon characters like Frank and Alice is simply amazing. And so spot on I think. And I ship Simon and Elena like crazy!

I was thinking, FINALLY! And then you just HAD to do that! Joking aside, I really loved that chapter! It was much too short for my liking but I absolutely cannot wait for the next chapter. I ship Charlotte/Oliver so hard.

Author's Response: He. What can I say? Nothing, really, but I will let you know that chapter 29 is about to be added ~ so the wait will be short :)

And I'm glad you ship them! I ship them too! I just want to give them a big squish :3 :3

Thanks so much for your comments! It means so much that you take the time to leave a review ^_^ ♥

I was rolling in laughter this entire chapter, trying and failing to be silent as it's a bit late and my roommates sleeping. She woke up and asked if I was having a seizure. Worth it though. I truly love this fic and how you portray the characters, especially Scorpius and Ron. I feel like you got them all just right, straight out of the books. Well, Ron and Hermione from the books at least. I'm rambling. Should sleep. Won't. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Sorry, roommate. No seizures. Just fanfiction and snogging.

I'm really glad you are enjoying the story so far. Ron was really important to me in this story because he is my favorite HP character. So it was a blast writing him.

Hello, I'm still here and loving this story! Will there be a sequel, or will it just be ending? I really love Elena and Simon's relationship, as well as her relationship with Corinne. Gah this story is so good! I decided just before bed that I would check my favorited stories to see if any had been updated and when I saw this story had I literally gasped aloud. Great chapter!

Author's Response: Hi! And thank you so much for being patient with my infrequent updates. And for leaving a review ♥

I don't know if there can be a sequel, exactly, to this, but I have thought about writing a shorter novella about Corinne. I have several ideas about what happened to her before this story and what happens after that would be interesting to write I think. (And even though it wouldn't be Elena's story, doesn't mean that she wouldn't show up). That's not 100 percent though. But definitely something I'm considering :)

I'm glad that you checked then and it's great to hear that you were excited :D

I came across this just now in the feeds and I absolutely love it! It's so different from the typical James/Lily story, and I can already tell it's going to be great :) Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing :) this review made me so happy! :D

Dundundun...poor Javery :( Freddy and the cats though! I love cats, and Freddy. That just made me love him more :) I love the introduction of Mason and Shelby! Can't wait till the plot thickens even more. Great chapter, I'll be eagerly awaiting for more! Oh, and if you were referring to me at the beginning, then thanks so much!

Author's Response: Haha, I feel like if Amy wasn't around Freddie would be a marvelous cat lady. Don't you think?

This was a great chapter. I really love your take on Fred II. Most people depict him as a manwhore who doesn't take anything seriously, and I don't think that's exactly realistic. I'm sorry to hear you've been under the weather! I've found Little Yellow Spider by Devendra Banhart to cheer me up :)

Author's Response: I'm glad you like my Fred. For some reason he has resonated with me a lot. I don't like the idea of manwhore characters. I just don't think it's realistic ... or creative. So I'm glad you like him.

2:30am, just caught up. You're rather good at cliffhangers! Thank God you don't do it more often :) You do an excellent job describing the battles and the action, please keep going!

Author's Response: Hi again!

You read fast! I know that a ton happens from chapter 16-22, (at some point, it becomes this continuous 4-chapter-long scene) so it's probably a lot of plot to process. And cliff hangers--they are way too much fun to write (especially in serialized stuff that's posted a chapter at a time) but I know that it's maybe not so much fun for readers. Anyways, I have the next chapter written (I just need to quickly edit it) and then a draft of the chapter after that. So hopefully there shall be updates soon!

Again, it's really a great complement to hear that you read this entire story all the way through. And I can't thank you enough for letting me know that you did by leaving a review.

Hello, I just wanted to say that this is one of the most suspenseful, wonderful stories on this site I have ever read! I've been reading for hours. I LOVE mystery and action, and it's so hard to find that sort of thing on here as a lot of it is drama or angst or fluffy romance. Not that I don't love a bit of romance; I'm rambling. I just wanted you to know that I am a huge supporter of this, and I'm going to keep reading now, even though it's 1am! Nice twist at the end of the chappie by the way :)

Author's Response: Hi!

Thank you so much for leaving a review! It's great to hear that you just stumbled on this story and that you liked it enough to keep reading. I'm glad that there are people like you who enjoy mystery and action because I am definitely not great at writing fluffy romance. And it's fine--rambling is to be expected in reviews (and review responses =] ).

Hello, I've been following your story since...well, the beginning of BTQC I suppose! I only recently got an account so this is the first review I've ever left you :) Your writing is phenomenal and I absolutely love this story and this chapter. I lost it at 'douchecanoes' hahaha, it made my night! Cannot wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: First review of the new year! Look at that :)

I'm so glad you made an account and you're reviewing! It means a lot! Thank you so much for your kind words and I really, really hope you like the rest of the sequel!

I love this plot twist! And I love this story so much! It really needs some more attention, seriously. Please keep posting!

Author's Response: Thanks! I agree that it needs more writing, but I'm running through a patch of 'writer's block' and I can't post any more chapters due to the administrators' holidays or something!
Cheers, SW.
